Faye Wei Wei @ Cob Gallery

Faye Wei Wei’s exhibition- ‘I Have Always Been A Weeper At The Cinema’, features a new suite of paintings, created over a summer in Berlin. Filled with iconography and steeped in the romanticism that Wei Wei’s paintings have become known for, the new works are inspired by seduction and the experience of love, personal memory and, more directly they emote the rhythms found in poetry. Meanwhile, the exhibition features a group of large scale floral paintings – which energetically fluctuate between the figurative and the abstracted. These pictures are inspired by the summer. They arise, still wet from the ocean’s spray and they reach out from the silver screen.
